I have a source which generates demand (quantity) for 2 different items. Want to pass that same generated demand quantity to two different queue.
for example: Source generates a demand of 10 items of Product A and 5 items of Product B. Want to send 10 of A and 5 of B to both Queue1 & Queue2 at the same time.
If you Queue2 gets an item every time Queue1 gets an item, you can add the following code to an OnEntry trigger on Queue 1. You will need to center connect Queue1 to Queue 2 for the code to work as is. You can also make changes to the item (labels, etc.) between copying the object and moving it if needed via storing the copied item to a variable named copy.
treenode copy = item.copy(); moveobject(copy,current.centerObjects[1]);
I'd suggest to use Process Flow. Either create the items there directly or use an Event-Triggered Source that reacts to items entering Queue1 and creates copies for Queue2.
The attached model uses an Object Process Flow linked to the queues. The logic in the Process Flow is run for each queue separately.
Felix beat me to an answer, so adding as a comment.
Here's a similar example process that duplicates items created in a 3D source. Source 2 is a queue with a label 'otherSource' that points to the source generating items. It has an object process flow that listens to otherSource creation events and duplicates any item it creates.
Thanks to all 3 of you - Adam, Felix, Jason for your effort in answering and taking time out.
All of the solutions worked. :)
